Pretty Please.....Buy our books:
     Aaron's STOP LYING is available from the Pitt Poetry Series.
     James's ROMANTIC COMEDY is available from Four Way Books.


The site in such desperate need of sissification (and better poets) can be found here. Or just skip to a queer critique here and/or to Esther Wang's super smart deep-dive takedown "My Brief Hero's Journey into the 'Art of Manliness,' Which Unfortunately Did Not Teach Me to Chop Wood" (on Jezebel, so you know that shit's good).

Bill Waterson is the creator and writer of Calvin and Hobbes, which also includes poems over the years. 

Sam Elliott chews the scenery with Cher in Mask--watch a great scene here. 

For some terrifically sissy poems, read on:
